Decorate With Beeswax Candles

The beeswax candles are currently at the very top in the candles world. These candles are really expensive, but there are good reasons for that. They are also one of the cleanest candles you are able to find right now.

Beeswax candles compete in the market against three different competitors, namely, soy wax candles, gel candles, and paraffin candles. The competitors are generally less expensive and also of lower quality.

Commercial bee farmers are collecting the wax from the bee hives, and this wax is what we use to make beeswax candles. To prepare the candle making process, the beeswax itself is being processed and purified. The purification process includes heating the wax in hot water.

There are scented and unscented varieties, besides the difference beeswax candles have in their form and shape. The main reason these pricey candles are stated as top of the notch candles is their burning qualities. The difference is that some other candles do not emit such a powerful yellow color and burn with such warm flames.

With beeswax candles there is very little wax dripping.

And it is because of these characteristic that the candles are very welcome in religious services. There are many institutions that use candles heavily, like Catholic Church does during their services. Those candles would be a big problem if they were dripping their wax everywhere.

To avoid that problem they mainly make use of beeswax candles that do not drip wax. You will not have to tolerate a lot of smoke from these candles, simply because they do not produce it. In other words, they are very clean burning candles. This characteristic makes them desirable candles to burn with children in the home and also generally to protect your family's respiratory systems.

These candles do not produce the petroleum smell and that you often get with paraffin candles and they do not produce the soot that can leave dark spots against your walls or on your ceiling.

These candles have a lot of benefits and this makes them a good buy, even if they are expensive due to a lot more labor involved in their farming process.
